I was so excited to get the Core Rhythms cd's. I am not a coordinated person when it comes to dancing but this was so much fun I hardly noticed if I was doing something wrong. The Core Rhythms came with a getting started cd that showed you the steps and moves to help you get started. I can definitely say that this exercise cd's keep you moving. By the end I was tired but felt really good and had lost of energy to continue with my evening chores. I actually look forward to the evenings when I use the exercise cd's. My daughter even came in and started exercising and had a fun time. I can definitely say you work up a sweat and burn lots of calories doing the Core Rhythms exercise cd's.

Core Rhythms Latin Synergy is an excellent excercise video in that it is a change of pace than what you would normally do. Core Rhythms adds excitement during each phase of the video. You have options of viewing from the front of the video or the back of the video. You are also able to adjust the screen size to your liking. There are eight different dances wrapped into one exercise video. Each dance is explained into detail on how to do each step by Jaana Kuntz and Julia Powers, who are two world reknowned ballroom dancers. Core Rhythms helps build strength in your abdominals and your back, as well as other parts of your body. The video is high-energy and fun. It adds something new to your regular old routine.

Core Rhytems is the perfect example why exercise should be fun. Who wants to be tired after working out? nobody. I dislike excerxising and many people do not like it either or just do not have the time.

** I tried the "Core Rythem" workout DVD's, and all I can say is WOW ! The workout is easy. It is explained every step of the way. You even have the option to look at the exercise from different views. If done right as explained, you can loose weight and look great. Not to mention learn a new dance. I lost 16 lbs. in 2 weeks.**

I have to say that these DVD's are great. I am in Weight Watchers and was looking for a workout routine I could do during the winter months. I ordered the Core Rhythms Dance Exercise Program 7 DVD package. After ordering I had read several reviews that were negative about the DVD's and the infomercial ordering, basically calling the company and the DVD's a scam. I ordered my DVD's in November 2008 and did not find this to be the case. The company was very professional and when I had a question about my order, I called the customer service number and spoke directly to a real person who was very helpful. I had also read that the DVD's were a rip off because several were only a couple of minutes long. I also did not find that to be the case. The main DVD's are great, I have not watched the extra workout DVD's yet, but if they are shorter I feel that if they are combined with the full workout DVD's you increase your success. I did, however, find the ordering process very frustrating. The automated system endlessly asks you if you want to purchase extra DVD's or be signed up for other offers. Some of the reviews I read stated that people who purchased Core Rhythms had extra charges on their credit card and several of them admitted to not completing the automated ordering process. So my advice is to continue the ordering process until the automated rep. says goodbye. I did not have extra charges on my card. I sent an email to Core Rhythms letting them know that my frustration with their system almost made me change my mind in ordering their workout. All in all, that was my only beef with the company. I think the workouts are great. I have lost 35 ponds and I will update this review when these workouts help me reach my goal.

***Quick View:*** After buying the [Core Rhythms Four Workout Starter Set][1] , I branched out and bought the "Club Mix" which includes four all new and different Core Rhythm workouts. I find that **Core Rhythms Latin Synergy** is the fastest paced, most energetic workout of all the Core Rhythm workouts and I really like it. You should start out with a slower one - the Kick Start DVD would be best - unless you're in good shape and ready to kick it into high gear and stay there for almost 45 minutes.***About Core Rhythms Latin Synergy***This workout features Latin dancers Julia Powers and Jaana Kunitz as all the workouts do. Jaana has a kicky new short hairdo but still has that odd red hair that no one could possibly be born with. The set is the same as always - a simple wood floored area with a large screen behind the dancers and two others doing the workout. On the screen is the super toned torso of a faceless woman who does the workout along with the "real people". You can easily see every muscle that should be moving and every swing up close. The best way to deal with that unbearably perfect torso is to pretend you're looking at yourself in a mirror as you workout. It works for me! As with all the workouts, you have a choice of viewing from the front or the back of the instructors. I always view from the front. There is a help feature that you can use any time a move confuses you. The workout will stop and you will be shown, slowly, how to do the move. Then you can continue on. I never use the help feature but it's nice to know it's there.This 45 minute workout incorporates eight dance styles including the Merengue, Cha Cha, Salsa, Samba, Paso Doble, Swing, and Rumba. It starts out with a quick warm up and then you're off and dancing and you don't stop until you slow down with the Rumba. I have all the Core Rhythms DVDs and **Core Rhythms Latin Synergy** is the highest energy workout of them all. The moves are fast, the pace is fast, and you may need to watch the DVD a couple of times to get all the moves down. I love this workout. I like to push myself and I like variety. Because I learned just about all the steps from the other workouts, I didn't have much trouble keeping up with the fast changes in dance steps. The music is fitting but not overly exciting. The instructors, as always are very knowledgeable and show that they are pros at all the dances. They don't expect you to be though. They go over each step slowly until you are comfortable with it, then do it faster, then finally they go into full swing, really picking up the pace.I burn a load of calories when I do this workout and I have fun. I love the variety of moves and the fast pace. Trust me, when you do **Core Rhythms Latin Synergy**, you don't have to wonder if your heart rate is in the fat burning zone. It will be!Also on this DVD is a *Latin Dance Made Easy* with Julia Powers and her husband teaching actual dances. I watched it and it's too hard for me to even try and my husband is so NOT a Latin dancer type. Still, it's an extra if you're truly interested in learning how to do Latin dances on the dance floor with a partner.***My Viewpoint*****Core Rhythms Latin Synergy** is one of the best Core Rhythms DVDs made, in my opinion. Although some people don't like that you always end up at "home base" marching for a few steps before moving on, I totally appreciate the little break and don't find this workout to be repetitive or boring in the least. It's fun, challenging, and a real fat blaster. A definite hit in the series. ***5 stars.****Another great Core Rhythms DVD:***[Core Rhythms Club Mix - Swing Sensation][2] **
